PVC Check Valve Rp 1'' 0.012-16bar (0.17-232psi)
This Rp 1 inch check valve is made of PVC-U with an FKM (FPM) seal. The minimum differential pressure across the non-return valve must be higher than 0.012 bar (0.17 psi). The valve has a spring to close the valve when the flow is below the minimum pressure and to prevent backflow. The maximum operating pressure is 16 bar (232 psi). The valve is suitable for operating temperatures between 0 and 60 °C (32 to 140 °F). The Kv-value is 19.5 m3/h (325.06 l/min @1 bar pressure). In imperial units: Cv = 22.54 GPM @ 1 psi pressure.

PVC check valves are commonly used for water, but are also suited for many inorganic chemicals, acids, alkalis and salt solutions. They're not suited for aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. In case of threaded connections, apply a sealant suitable for PVC, such as Loctite 5331, to the male threads.
These check valves are made according to EN 1452-3.
Note: PTFE tape or PTFE sealants are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. Do not use PVC pipes, valves, and fittings with compressed air or gas.
Pros:
- PVC is lightweight, strong, and durable giving it a long service life.
- PVC check valve is often a cost-effective alternative to a metal housing (brass or stainless steel).
